Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0924640A2] The adapter has identical upper and lower housing sections (1,5) consisting of two separate panels coupled together via an intermediate frame element holding them at the required relative spacing. The housing conforms in size and shape to a standard chip card (4). The chip card is received between the upper and lower sections of the housing via an insertion slit at one end of the housing. At the opposite end of the housing is a connection terminal field. The terminal is coupled to a printed circuit board extending parallel to the inserted chip card, with contact elements for contacting the chip card.
